Is it not true, then, that Ed Roberts coined the term 'personal computer'

I don't know if he did or not but the Altair wasn't announced til
January 1976 or 77 (I don't remember which but I have the magazine that it
was announced in.) The IBM 5100 was already in production in 1975.

I think the credit on this one has to go to the IBM 5100 again. It was
released in 1975. Joe>
